Well, for one, the lived experience for most science monkeys is "torture, execution, autopsy", and the reason we tamper with their brains is due to the similarity.

I suspect others are taking the wide view but I wanted to point out this direct answer to your question.

p.s the use of "torture" is intended in contrast to the neutrality of clinical language on this topic, not as a hint at my judgement on the matter.
